MINI Clubman All-Wheel Drive Plugin Hybrid

Okay - The word on MotoringFile is that the 2016 clubman might be an all-wheel drive plugin hybrid build on the countryman platform. Thoughts? Clubman - yes or no? Too cool for school?

I'd surely go for an all-wheel drive Clubman, as long as it doesn't get as high center of gravity as current Countryman. However, MotoringFile gave inaccurate reporting (and picture) when the 2012+ JCW Clubman started getting the JCW Aero Kit as standard equipment - actually a mismatched ~2009 era side aero. Let's hope maybe they got this one right though.
